On the other hand: There was so much hackery, bad engineering decisions, rush to market, cover-up and likely a lot more shenanigans that haven't yet come to light. The whole engineering approach reeks of management mandating to "just fix it with gaffer tape", if it costs time or gets expensive. Boeing's despicable behavior in the whole sordid affair also doesn't exactly help. While I'm sure that there's a lot of scrutinity going into the recertification of the plane, such systems are so immensely complex that it begs the question: What else was missed? I, for one, would be extremely reluctant to step into anything 737 after the NG. Even at the price to forego a direct connection.
